    List of Ingredients




    2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
    1 tablespoon sugar
    1 tablespoon cornstarch
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 cup (1/2 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
    3/4 cup chilled buttermilk

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 450°F. Sift first 6 ingredients into large bowl. Add butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk and stir until dough forms.
    Turn dough out onto floured surface; knead until smooth, about 8 turns. Roll out dough to 1-inch thickness. Using 2-inch-diameter biscuit cutter or cookie cutter, cut out biscuits. Gather scraps; roll out to 1-inch thickness and cut out additional biscuits.

    Transfer biscuits to large ungreased baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 12 minutes. Serve warm.



    Makes 12 biscuits.
